‘Star Wars’ Vets Join Cast for Upcoming Film

Disney and Lucasfilm have convinced Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford to return to a galaxy far, far away and resume their old hijinks in Star Wars: Episode VII. Along with the actors who played Chewbacca, C3PO and R2D2, the veterans will mix it up with Adam Driver from Girls, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac. Director J.J. Abrams called it “thrilling” to see the originals with the new faces. Filming begins in London in May, and the film hits cinemas in December 2015.
